Log Truck Deaths Leading to Clampdown by WorkSafeBC

WorkSafeBC will be ramping up inspections of log trucks across the province in response to a spike in the number of fatal incidents so far this year.

There have been five deaths involving the vehicles, the most recent occurring on Sept. 2 near Fernie, where a truck went off a logging road and down a steep embankment. By comparison, there were three over the entire length of 2015.
